Evening funeral services are becom-
ing very frequent in New York City. 1t
is urged in favor Of the growing custom
that it affords gentlemen opportunities
for attendance that they can hardly
take during business hours. Besides
this great convenience distressing scenes
of parting with the dear loved ones are
kept from the gaze of the curious and
unsympathetic. Upon the score of
economy, too, it is to be commended.
The remains are kept over night and
the next morning they are unostentati-
ously removed to the place of burial,
followed by only few carriages with
the nearest relatives and family init
mates.

While bull-mills are yet reported as III
occasional operation, the average grinding
apparatus of the island cannot fail to surprise
those acquainted only with our own. AS g
rule, rolls of greater length than here usual
have been preferred in the past as reducing
the depth Of feed for given quantities of cane
ground in given times; and single large to
two or more smaller mills, as the amount OF
work to be performed increased. Six and
seven feet have been ~favorite dimensions IN
the former regard, with mall diameters, say
thirty to thirty-two inches; but, latterly, in
crease in this latter particular, not always
giving entire satisfaction, has reached it's
limit only at forty-eight inches. A periphe-
raj travel of from eighteen to twenty feet per
minute seems to be prevalently accepted as
the most happy mean between minimum
depth of feed, maximum tons ground and
maximum extraction secured. Bagasse satu-
ration, as the accompaniment OF double
grinding, was found in employment only at
a single factory. At Coridad, q Scotch, eight

Saturday, 18th September 1887.

The weather during the past two weeks
has been oppressively hot, partly owing to
the frequent Gains and partly to the WIND
what little there has been, having blown from
the south. At the same time there have been
frequent, and in some places heavy, show
ers, SO that the weather is exceedingly favo-
rable to the growth of the canes. The ap-
pearance of the country therefore is fast i'm
proving. and as there is also a slight rise in
the price of sugar, prospects must be regard
ed as brighter than they have been for some
time past.

In connection with the favourable weather
we would like to call attention to the bright
appearance which the two small gardens
opening on Kings Street have lately present
cd. These gardens are indeed a great orna-
ment to the street, and are we'll worth
keeping UP. The spots where they are now
blooming were formerly neglected ruins, and
it is pretty generally known that much OF
the Transformation is due to a Committee
formed about FIVE years ago for the adorn-
ment of the town and it's neighborhood,
with the Government Secretary, Councillor
Van Brake, as Chairman. In its early
DAYS the Committee had a large number OF
subscribers, and the Chairman's judicious
supplementing, by means OF the Committees
funds, of such work as the public with pro-
prietory could be expected to perform pro-
duced such results, that no one could doubt
the advantage of the plan. After a time,
however, subscribers began to fall OIL ana
last year, during the Chairman's absence IN
Europe, the list was very seriously reduced
We are sorry to learn that there has even been
some danger that the subscriptions OF the
faithful few would be insufficient to maintain
the gardens and keep in order the numerous
and convenient benches belonging to the
Committee which are to be found on the
wharf and at some other places. A circular,
however, has been issued, pointing out the
necessity of further subscriptions II the whole
work of the Committee is not to be abandoned,
and we hope that old subscribers who have
deserted will baGnduced to return al that
new members will Join @so that after all It
may not prove necessary TO take a step which
would be undoubtedly a step backwards.

Suggestions to Collegiate Orators.

The perplexity of students in the selec-
ton of a theme is frequently shown in a
desire to be original. But if to be original
implies that the writer is to select q
theme that no one has hitherto chosen,
then originality in this sense is scarcely
possible. Again, if in the treatment or
development of the theme i. is to be pre-
sented by means OF ideas that have not
occurred to others, then, also, originality
in this sense is scarcely possible. Origi-
nality may be attained in the way OF
putting a thought, in the selection of
thoughts, and in their arrangements.
Such is IL of the meanings of compost
ton. In this view a student may very
properly place the thoughts of others,
whether written or spoken. under contri-
button. 1t is plagiarism when a writer
takes bodily the thought and words of
another and gives them as his own. 1t is
also plagiarism when a writer, ever if he
changes the mode of expression, adopts
the development of a subject from an
other and gives this as his own.-College

\ highly interesting as well as instruc-
tive experiment in night signaling at sea
will be tried at the first favorable oppor-
tunity. The new method is one suggest
ed by Mr.. Edison. 1t consists in throwing
the rays of the electric light on the
clouds. The clouds, thus acting as re-
Electors, permit the flashes of the light
being seen at u very great distance. The
regular system of flashes of different
lengths can be utilized in this manner by
corresponding them with the dashcs ard
dots Of the regular army and navy code
Of tClcgraphy. This system could be used
to great advantage where the means usu-
ally employed would be inadequate and
unreliable. The present manner of send
ing messages at night between different
vessels consists of the common torch,
which is used in the same manner as the
''wig wag'' flag in daytime.-NewEort

In my whole literary experience, 1
never received but one manuscript from
u young lady which evinced sufficient
genius to justify me in urging her to at
tempt literature as a profession and means
of support. She possessed a heaven born
gift, and without my advice the force of
her genius would have compelled her to
write.
l believe more strongly each day l live
that true genius or great ability seldom
seeks advice. 1t only seeks an outlet.
The a~rtesian spring has to be bored and
its course directed. The natural spring
forces its own way through earth and
rock. The woman who does not feel that
she has thoughts and expressions within
her strong enough to force their way
through every obstacle and to compel the
world TO listen can never hope for marked
success in literature. If she feels that
unconquerable impulse towards creation
which is divine in its source and power,
she will not ask to be shown the way out
of the loan into the light. Success may
be long in coming, but she will win it ut
last without being led into it.-Ella
Wheeler Wilcox.

vlolinIst Remenyi's Ways.

During his tour through the country
several years ago Remenyi played at
Whitewater, and while there was invited
to the residence of 7. ID. Weeks, a prom
inent citizen of Whitewater. He took
with him his famous Cremona violin,
which he carefully deposited on a sofa in
the parlor. Shortly afterward several
young ladies who were there to meet the
great vIolinist went into the parlor, and
removing the violin from the sofa stood
it up in one corner of the room. When
Remenyi entered the room again he
noticed his violin on the floor; he seized
it and exclaimed, MY princess on the
floorl'' and then he turned to the aston
ished misses and scolded them roundly
for putting his princess" on the floor.
There was present at the same time q
pianist who had joined Remenyi in this
city, and who travelled with him during
the balance of his tour. Whitewater was
tho first place where the new pianist
played and on this occasion he sat down
to the piano and ave an exhibition of
his playing. When he had finished
Remenyi was so delighted that he went
up to the performer and embraced him in
the most ELUSIVE manner repeating this
performance every time he played
